When I was looking for the original pictures for Earth's family day, I found a post here on the blog where I called him our family's exclamation point.  It was true in 2017 when I wrote it and it's still true now. Earth is the blessing no one expected; a loving surprise, made of noise, motion, and joy.  Bringing him home changed our family in so many ways and we're thankful for all of them.  Happy 6 years home, Earth! 2015
